FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the Gel-Pulse 17 is designed for daily training and provides sufficient support for long-distance road runs.
Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?
While primarily built for running, their stable, ergonomic design makes them suitable for general gym activities and light training.
How do I know my correct ASICS size?
It is recommended to use the standard UK size guide provided; however, allow for a small gap at the toe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the delicate GEL components and adhesives. Always clean them by hand.
Is the outsole durable enough for daily use?
Yes, the outsole is constructed from high-quality, durable rubber specifically engineered to withstand regular wear on paved surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider adjusting the lacing tension to accommodate your specific arch shape.
Slippery feel on smooth surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp brush to remove accumulated dirt or debris that may block the traction patterns.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Remove the insole after your run to let both the shoe and insert air dry completely in a shaded, ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by wearing the trainers during shorter sessions to allow the internal cushioning to break in properly. For care, keep the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the foam's integrity. Clean the exterior by wiping with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, which can degrade the adhesive and structural support. Always inspect the outsole for excessive wear every 300 to 500 miles to determine when a replacement is needed.
